Abstract

A compact disk receiving device includes a base plate with a circular flange extending therefrom which has a lip portion extending radially inward therefrom so as to engage with two engaging plates extending from the bottom of an engaging member which is rotatably mounted to the circular flange. Two hook members extending radially outward from the flange and which are pushed outwardly and downwardly by the long side of the engaging member when rotating the engaging member so as to compress a compact disk mounted onto the flange.

Claims

1. A compact disk receiving device comprising:

a base plate (25) with a cover (250) pivotally connected thereto, a circular flange (20) extending from the top of said base plate (25) and two hook members (23) respectively extending radially outward from said flange (20), a lip portion (22) extending radially inward from the inner periphery of said circular flange (20), and

an engaging member (30) rotatably engaged with said circular flange (20), said engaging member (30) having two engaging plates (32) extending from the bottom thereof so as to be engaged with said lip portion (22) of said flange (20), said engaging member (30) having a long side (302) and a short side (301), the length of said long side (302) is longer than the distance between said two hook portions (23), the length of said short side (301) is shorter than the distance between said two hook portions (23).

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said hook members (23) has an inclined surface (231) defined in the top thereof.
